Villa Lauser, Neoclassical garden villa on Oberer Wöhrd island in Regensburg, Germany

Villa Lauser is a neoclassical mansion on the Upper Woerd island in Regensburg featuring a three-story central pavilion flanked by two symmetrical wings. The window arrangement follows strict geometric proportions, with the center section spanning five axes and each side wing measuring six axes across.

Georg Friedrich von Dittmer had the building constructed between 1795 and 1797 by architect Joseph Sorg as his private residence. This period marked the height of neoclassicism in Regensburg when wealthy landowners favored elegant country estates.

The name comes from the Lauser family who lived here and became closely associated with the house. Classical proportions and symmetry in the facade shape how the building relates to its island setting.

The house stands at Lieblstrasse 2 as private property and is not open to visitors. The best views come from walking around the island along the riverbanks and seeing it from different angles, particularly from the water's edge.

The wooden structure at the east end of the small island north of the villa is a pagoda-like building, not a Japanese pavilion. An octagonal garden pavilion with chinoiserie interiors once stood at the island's west end; it had decayed by 1955 and was probably removed in the 1960s. The surviving wooden building was secured with a temporary frame in the 1980s and then restored.
